Overall Satisfaction with Matillion
We use it as an ETL tool to process data from Redshift and other software, create tables in Redshift, and transform data as it goes.
- Fairly customizable: can piece together components like Legos.
- Responsive support and good standard documentation.
- Deployment, upgrades, and migration are very smooth.
- Many connectors, APIs, python scripting.
- Bugs in Zuora API; no SFDC push component.
- Few “best practices” like Legos without instructions.
- Next to no information in "google land" or stack exchange on gotchas or tips. Too much help in video form and not enough searchable text.
- Pay AWS and Matillion by the hour.
- Allowed us to replace an ancient tool (pentaho) and move forward into the new era.
- Quick deployment and smooth upgrades make us look good to our customers.
Took 1 day to deploy, get logged in, and connect to Redshift.
Took 1 month to make it useful in production, and 9 months in, I'm still learning features and quirks of Matillion.

I didn't do the compare or eval, tool was chosen before I was hired.
